A Joke
Played charged me £55 for a course that should be shut. Greens all dead a burnt, tees the same. Rubbish everywhere on the course as well. Greenkeepers just sitting around, laughing and smoking. Avoid plenty other courses to play in the area. The bar prices awful and staff just same as the Greenkeepers lazy.Reviewer Rating

Should be shut
Played today the course is a joke. If they are going rebuild it they should not be charging green fees, irrigation is broke so everything burnt greens and tees. Avoid at all costs if you what to get ripped off, staff very rude when we asked for refund.Reviewer Rating

Played Luton Hoo Golf Course (15th March 2025) ? sadly, a disappointing round. Course layout was simple and long, but the main issue was poor condition. Roughly 75% of fairways and greens were affected by worm casts or similar problems. Very little signage on-site, and the club shop was expensive. Didn't use the clubhouse. Wouldn't rush back. ?????

Too wet?
I am not sure the course should have been open. On several holes the mud was so thick my trolley struggled to get through. The greens were slow and patchy, apparently the told the guy who booked the tee times about some sort of fungal infection. Do not play here in the winter.Reviewer Rating

Not Value for money - especially the greens.
Nice layout of the course, mature trees, a challenge in places. However, the greens were somewhat patchy and really slow, bumpy in places. Not VFM! Member at Redbourn and the course there is better maintained and cared for. As for the restaurant and bar. Billed as a 5-star venue with 1-star service. Breakfast was woeful, £15 and £4 for tiny coffee. No hash browns, no substitute provided, had to ask. No butter for toast. Eventually arrived after breakfast finished. Great look and location. Therefore I think the management don’t think they have to try too hard. Handicap 17 - Score +20.Reviewer Rating

Something a little different
if you have a love for wildlife and a golf course that needs a lot of thought and confidence in some places. This one could be right up your street. There is a hole divided by water on either side that needs a good drive, a 245 yard par 3 as the hardest hole. In between there, there are doglegs , a lot of trees and waterReviewer Rating

Poor on all fronts
Poor mud everywhere and expensive for what it is. Greens uneven and when asked one Groundsmen he shrugged his shoulders and told me play somewhere else if my group didn't like it. Tell you played local council course week later, miles better and another course Redbourn GC both allot cheaper and better condition. Wont be going back in a rush need bring bank balance if buy any food or drink, even that was poor.Reviewer Rating

Expensive for what it is...
To be fair the date of this review is early February so I didn't expect the course to be in pristine condition. It was relatively dry but the mud seemed to stick to your shoes and ended up everywhere (I carried but those who took trolleys had to jet wash them at the end). The cost of the round was ?50 for a Sunday morning so quite expensive compared to others in Milton Keynes. Bacon rolls were ?6 and coffees ?4 so again not cheap. The course was in OK condition, greens a little lumpy (fair enough for this time of year) but having never played it before the signage to the next tees was awful (as was the signage to get to the venue). There are trees in the middle of the fairway on 2 or 3 holes - some dead where they seem to be getting rid of them? When we played it was blowing a gale and the course is pretty open which made it more challenging than normal. Overall I don't think it lived up to my expectations of a perceived 'quality' course although they seem to charge for the privilege. I couldn't really recommend based on that alone.Reviewer Rating

Poor value for money
Thought play as heard about Ryder cup and not played before as only down the road. Very disappointed with condition off the course compared to how much the green fees are. Other courses in area are much better condition and cheaper. If they are going hold Ryder Cup definitely need look at their management off the course as it was poor. Plus bar and food bloody expensive.Reviewer Rating

Good condition and a good, if not memorable, course. There are subtleties in its design that are clearly missed by some. Greens on the slow side but true. Undulating and interesting. Some are wide and shallow, some small at the front and wide at the back. Pin positions have a huge effect on the playability of the course as the greens and approaches are the biggest defence. I would say that the course is comparatively harder for the longer hitters. Much more thought required off the tee to navigate doglegs and trees etc. some risk reward on par 5’s for second shots onto the greens. Overall an above average course for the area and just about worth the money.

Great Layout
Luton Hoo was great to play .... book in by phone, pay on the day, staff were great. The best feature is the course layout .... play over water, doglegs left and right, big trees in the right places, open expanses. ... greens that are not flat and make you think, undulating fairways... slightly more expensive than I would normally pay ... greens as you might expect post winter.Reviewer Rating
